UberChic Beauty UC 3-03 Stamping Plate Review

Hey there! If you've been checking out the blog this week, you'll have seen that I've reviewed plates 1 and 2 from UberChic Beauty's Collection 3 of stamping plates so it shouldn't be too surprising that today I have a couple of mani's I've done with the third and final plate of this collection. For both of them I did double stamping (usually one of my nemeses).

As with the other plates from UberChic Beauty, the full sized images are 17 x 21 mm, amongst the largest on the market. I like how this plate is filled with classy images (like the flowers and swirly images) mixed with a bit of whimsy (like the strawberry and ladybug images). It also has a few smaller text images and one long image (lower right corner) that I was so enthralled by that I couldn't resist using it right away.

My first mani was heavily inspired by the amazing Tenshi no Hana. When I first started being interested in nail art, before I even tried it myself, I remember seeing this mani and falling in love with it. I stamped the long image that I just mentioned with Mundo de Unas White across four of my nails sandwiched with OPI Don't Touch My Tutu and Pirouette My Whistle. It created a really delicate look, in my opinion.

On top of the stampwich I then stamped the Be-You-Tiful words across my nails and the heart from the "stamp <3" image with Mundo de Unas Black.

I also used the "be strong" text but it was only on my thumb which tends to be neglected in my photos so I included it in the photo below. I really do have 5 fingers and I do always do them all, I promise!

For my second mani, I wanted to do something a bit more fun. I used one coat of a polish from Born Pretty Store (BK15) and stamped the leaf pattern with Mundo de Unas Lemon Tree (#52) and then the ladybugs with Reddish (#32) and used a dotter to fill in the black dots. And lastly I matted it with OPI's Matte Top Coat.

Collection 3 is available on the UberChic Beauty website for $24.99 plus $5 US shipping or $10 flat rate international shipping. It was just restocked so it is in stock right now, along with most of her other plates.
